My Students

I have the pleasure of teaching 26 wonderful 4th graders this year! While I am new to my school, I have a supportive community that has provided me with valuable information about my students.

The common theme: my students love to learn but, they need choices!

This year, my school is focusing on creating an environment that will allow all students to feel comfortable, safe, and engaged. I will be work with a diverse group of kiddos. English language learners, special needs, and low-income. I believe that by providing alternative seating options, I will be able to create this environment for ALL of my students!

My Project

I believe that flexible seating will allow my students to feel calm, safe, and engaged in my classroom. The items I have chosen are ones that I have use with former students in similar grades. I was amazed at how a simple change in their seating choice allowed them to be more successful. This is why I have chosen wobble chairs and cushions, a stand up desk, chair bands, a stability chair, and calming cushions.

The flexible seating items that I have selected will give my students the option to find a space or a tool where they feel like they will be focused and ready to learn.

Students can sit, stand, or wobble during lessons, workshop time, or a mindful break. This is just the beginning of creating a 21st century classroom environment. Out with the plastic chairs, and in with the balancing balls!
